Bomber jackets are basically everywhere right now and everyone seems to be obsessed with them, including myself. They’re effortlessly cool and casual and seem to work with anything. There are so many amazing ones available at the moment on the high street. I’ve been struggling as there are so many I want and don’t know how to begin picking a favourite. So, with that in mind, I thought I’d do something a little different today. I thought I would share with you a selection of some of the ones I’m loving and currently pining after.

1. Topshop Shiny Rust MA1 Bomber Jacket

As is typically the case, I’m attracted to this one because of how unique the colour is. I think it’s really rather special. I always seem to be drawn to the unexpected and pieces that are different and stand out. The trouble is that I then have a nightmare styling them and working them in with the rest of my wardrobe. This is such a gorgeous colour though and seems like it would work well with a lot of looks. I think it would look amazing paired with some 70s inspired pieces. The shiny fabric looks great and I feel the colour makes it an unexpected choice for spring, which I like.

2. Zara Embroidered Bomber Jacket

I’m in love with floral embroidery at the moment (you can see my post featuring the most incredible floral embroidered jeans here). I think the colour palette of this jacket is lovely. The soft, pale colours are perfect for the spring time and make this a dreamy option.

3. New Look Khaki Padded Bomber Jacket

Everywhere has great classic khaki bombers, and it’s the classic colour of bomber jacket for a reason. I love this particular one from New Look because of its cropped length which I really like. It’s also available in navy which is equally gorgeous.

4. Asos Premium Floral Embroidered Bomber Jacket

This Asos pink and black satin jacket with the prettiest embroidery is probably my favourite. I told you I have a thing for floral embroidery, and it seems to mix perfectly with the casualness of a bomber jacket. Perhaps it shouldn’t work, and maybe to some people it doesn’t, but to me the contrasting aesthetics go together beautifully. Plus, I think the use of pink is probably what puts this one ahead of the rest for me. Whenever I see a pink bomber, I immediately think of Grease’s pink ladies!

5. Topshop Sateen MA1 Bomber Jacket

Yet again I think what I really love about this Topshop one is its unique colour. I’ve seen this several times in store (and drool over it every time and wish I could afford it), and it’s a difficult colour to describe and capture in photos. It’s a very pale, creamy peachy kind of shade. I’m also a huge fan of the contrasting black used at the hem and cuffs and the MA1 style. The sateen fabric is beautiful and I personally think it’s the coolest out of my picks.

6. Boohoo Black Suedette Bomber Jacket

Using suedette for a bomber jacket is a really nice twist. There are a few good suede and suedette ones around, but I chose this as my favourite because of it being black. The classic colour and alternative material make it a different choice and I feel like it would work well for evening and more dressed up looks. But it still has that casual silhouette making it day time appropriate too. And it’s so affordable. Boohoo is great if you’re looking for a more affordable bomber as they have quite a large selection and there are some gorgeous ones. I definitely recommend you check them out.

So, there you have it: a little round up of my favourite bomber jackets. I haven’t done this kind of post before, I usually stick to outfit posts and beauty reviews. I’m thinking of starting to incorporate more of these ‘wish list’ compilations though so please let me know if it’s something you’d like to see more of. It’s also my first time creating a collage so apologies it’s not that great. I’m learning.

I love this kind of post, definitely up for more of those! Love the bomber, such a cool style and so many ways to combine them. My favourite is when paired with a feminine dress, to play with the border between masculine and feminine. Don't own one myself but definitely thinking about getting myself an awesome bomber soon!XO IMKE | Pastellics

Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed this kind of post, it's definitely somthing I'm going to start incorporating more of. And completely agree with you about bombers, they can be worn so many ways but I personally love the contrast with a pretty, feminine dress. I hope you do eventually get one, there are loads of amazing ones at the moment xx

Thank you Georgia! Your new black jacket sounds great and I'm sure it will look amazing on you. I love the current trend of adding patches and pins to jackets and denim so that sounds like a really cool idea to add to your bomber. And I'm really glad you like the Zara one I featured, it's such a pretty colour xx

Aww these are all so crush-worthy! The gold Topshop shiny rust is such a beaut, so mesmerising and stunning for summer! I totally agree it's something special. Saying that, am totally in love with all of these; you've picked such a stylish selection Katie! I've never worn a bomber jacket before, but you've totally inspired me ;) I'd absolutely love to see more wish-list posts from you in the future, I think this is just all the perfect <3

Thank you so much!! I'm really glad you liked my selections and would like to see more of these types of posts. I enjoyed doing it a lot more than I'd anticipated so I definitely want to start incorporatong them. The Topshop one is stunning! I actually saw it recently in person and it's even more gorgeous! I haven't worn a bomber style jacket for years but I'm loving them at the moment. Thank you for reading! Xx

I'm so glad you like them, thank you! The Asos one is definitely my favourite. The floral embroidery on this and the Zara one is so pretty and makes them a bit more special. I actually ended up getting the Asos one which I'm over the moon with and can't wait to share it with you all. I'm in love with it! Thank you for reading xx

Thank you so much! Each of the ones I included has something really special about them that I love, and I wish I could get them all! I love the silky fabric so many of them are made of. I'm so glad you liked my selection xx
